Reflecting on September 11
Waiting for 9/11
By Scott Corey
For me, 9/11 began in 1984.
Professor Chalmers Johnson
was giving a lecture on terror-
ism at UC Berkeley. That long
ago, he raised the issue of a
"hijack-as-missile" attack. He
argued that terrorists could
do far more damage by crash-
inga plane than by blowing
it up in mid air. There was
already a complete solution
to the danger. Israeli airlines
had effective barriers be-
tween the cockpit and the
passenger compartment.
But he did not think there
was much chance of such
measures being taken in the
United States.
Asking pilots and airlines
to plan on leaving passengers
to the mercy of would-be hi-
jackers while the cockpit
crew flew along safely was
more than anyone was willing
to do in preparation for a type
of attack that had never
happened. It was seen as
heartless, cowardly and irre-
sponsible to ignore the suc-
cessful measures designed to
handle the all-too-familiar
hijack-for-extortion. Duty to
the passengers would remain
the first priority until there
was an actual hijack-as-
missile.
So this knowledge hung on
me for long years. Everyone
who spent time on the issue
understood the danger:, and
hoped the inevitable would
not be as bad as it could be.
You cannot think about it all
the time, but things kept
coming that kept the nagging
worry alive.
I read everything I could
about that terrorist captured
in the Philippines. He said
there was a plan for multiple,
simultaneous hijackings, and
another to crash a plane into
CIA headquarters. The infor-
mation was clouded by the
possibility that his informa-
tion was given under torture,
and the interrogators might
have advertised it to the
press to promote their impor-
tance. The accused planner of
the attacks was the man who
eventually planned 9/11. Bad
practices by the authorities
diluted the warning, but not
the worry.
Then there was the crash
of an Egyptian airliner off
the U.S. East Coast. The
10 ye, on
American investigation ruled
it to be a personal suicide by
the copilot, killing all aboard
over some minor issues in
his life. The Egyptians and
his family believed he was a
hero, and made odd reference
to dangerous political forces
in their land. I downloaded
and read the transcripts of
the cockpit voice recorder.
Minutes before the crash, the
copilot had angrily thrown a
group of airline employees
out of the cockpit when they
attempted to occupy it before
takeoff. He scolded the pilot
(his superior) with words to
the effect of, "You know who
those men are. You know
who they serve. You cannot
allow them in here."
When U.S. forces invaded
Afghanistan years later,
they found al-Qaida records
showing that it had, indeed,
infiltrated Arab airline
crews, but ultimately gave
up on that approach. It may
well be that New York City
was saved by a gutsy crew of
Egyptians fighting off a
takeover years before 9/11.
The copilot's last words were

bonds. Chairman Flanigan
could not explain why she
called for a closed session.
Presumably it was on advice
of legal counsel.
What are they hiding?
What happened to trans-
parency? Was the Brown Act
violated? It would be nice to
have more directors on the
board who think for them-
selves instead of habitually
relying on bad advice dis-
pensed by a team of lawyers.
Voters should keep this in
mind at re-election time.

Good guys, bad guys
The economic debate rages
on, angrily in Washington
and, I hope, more respectfully
here. This letter is a response
to Gene Kailing's letter in the
Sept. 7 newspaper.
Mr. Kailing asserts that
Democrats tend to trust
government more than Re-
publicans do. No argument
there. What Mr. Kailing
omits is why Democrats
came to this view: by 1900,
unregulated business pro-
duced great prosperity for
a :very,/few. and mis,ery
for most. The result was the
Progressive movement. A
leading proponent was One of
the great presidents of the
United States, Republican
Theodore Roosevelt. In the
early 21st century the Great
Recession flowed from the
greed of under-regulated busi-
ness and the irresponsible
fiscal policies of Republican
George W. Bush. His adminis-
tration gave us tax cuts, a
major expansion of Medicare
and two wars, all paid for
with borrowed money. Is it
any wonder that many tea
party folks are as suspicious
of Republicans as they are of
Democrats?
Mr. Kailing cites Lyndon
Johnson's Great Society as
an example of Democratic
spending gone wild. In 1981
President Reagan came into
office pledging to cut the size
of government. In his eight
years in office Mr. Reagan
presided over an increase
in the federal debt frdm 26
percent of gross domestic
product in • 1980 to 41 percent
in 1988. His record as a tax
cutter was mixed. In 1987
Congressman Ron Paul re-
signed from the Republican
Party in protest against Mr.
"Thanks to the president and
Republican Party, we have
lost the chance to reduce the
deficit and the spending in a
non-crisis fashion. Even
worse, big government has
been legitimized in a way the
Democrats never could have
accomplished."
So is it irue that Republi-
cans are the good guys and
Democrats the bad guys?

Taxes and jobs
After being rebuffed by the
contemptuous Republicans;
President Obama addressed
Congress and the nation
Sept. 8. The topic --jobs. His
plan calls for $245 billion in
tax cuts, $140 billion for infra-
structure and teachers and
$62 billion for unemployment
programs. $245 billion for tax
cuts?
Tax cuts do not create jobs.
The "job creators" are people
with money in their pockets
that buy products and ser-
vices. This creates "demand."
Businesses hire employees•
when their productivity
outweighs the employee
expense.
Obama's Republican policy
,,Reagan's policies,.He wrote, of cutting payroll tax is most
PUBLIC NOTICE
egregious in that it is a
means to sabotage Social
Security and Medicare and
therefore destroy it. A simple
tax cut would accomplish the
same thing.
It is great that money will
be provided for infrastruc-
ture and to rehire teachers.
However, how can $140
billion for jobs be called
a jobsbill? What America re-
ally needs is a trillio.n dollars
for infrastructure, renewable
energy and transportation.
jobs. That is how you "create
jobs."
But America has a funda-
mental economic problem.
And that is the fact that job
opportunities have been
removed from America. The
"free trade" practices imple-
mented by NAFTA, et al. and
actual (Republican) legisla-
tion encouraging offshoring,
caused 50,000 factories (and
their jobs) to be relocated
overseas.
The unfortunate reality is
that corporations have no
reason to employ Americans.
Their factories are overseas
and most of their customers
are in China and India. Their
allegiance is to profit and
they could care less about
.Americans.

President Obama's plan
only addresses the jobs crisis
in the short term. The fact
remainsthat America no
longer has a manufacturing
foundation: The solution is to
protect America's economy
byending the "free trade"
agreements and reinstate
the highly successful and
centuries-old practice of
tariffs. America's success
requires a working and
prosperous middle class.

Dead in the water
President Obama's jobs
speech (campaign speech) was
a colossal disappointment,
and suggests he's learned
nothing about economics
in the last 2.6 years. Our
economy is near dead in
the water despite massive
stimulus spending, and is
at risk of falling back into
recession. We need a serious
and different approach, not
more of the same failed
Obamanomics.
In January 2009, Obama
said if the $787 billion stimu-
lus was passed, unemploy-
ment would not go over
8 percent -- it went over 10
percent. He said most new
jobs would be in the private
sector (businesses), but are in
government instead.
For two years he's bragged
about the millions of jobs
saved and created but they
were illusory.
His administration put out
a summary of jobs created by
congressional district, but it
included many districts that
did not exist. Many jobs were
counted two or three times.
Thousands of jobs in one uni-
versity system were counted,
even though the headcount
never changed.
A few months before the
2010 election, the Obama
administration changed the
computer model that esti-
mates change in jobs each
month. For instance, if an
interest rate goes down, the
model assumes x-number of
jobs were created; it's not an
actual count. The new model
increased the "number of jobs
created" in prior months, and
the remaining months lead-
ing up to November 2010. Lies
and deception are trademarks
of this administration.
Animosity toward business
Prevents recovery. Health
care reform Created extra-
ordinary costs and risks for
all employers, especially in-
surance and health care com-
panies. Financial regulation
knee-capped the financial in-
dustry. Banks are reluctant
to lend, and Bank of America
will lay off 10,000 workers.
Obama shut down the oi1
industry in :e Gi?ff of
Mexico, and the EPA IS clos-
ing coal mines. We need a
pro-business government to
bring unemployment down.
